Modeling and optimization of a sink-float separator incorporating a pulsation flow system for plastic separation using Computational Fluid Dynamics KU Leuven
In recent years, the European Union has given priority to a number of actions to work towards a more sustainable use of plastics and a new strategy was developed with recycling very high up on the agenda. A common technique for the separation of plastics with different densities is by gravity separation in a sink-float separator. The fraction to be separated is dropped at the inlet into a bath containing a solution or a suspension. Materials ...
